I practice a synthesis of client-centered therapy, Contemplative(mindfulness-based) therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Somatic therapy. Client-centered Psychotherapy starts with a focus on listening to the client and trusting that they hold the key to their own growth and healing. DBT works by helping the client build new skills in self-awareness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal communication. I work with individual adult clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship issues, the effects of trauma, or substance and behavioral addictions. I also work with individuals looking for support with personal growth and spiritual issues. I have been a meditation practitioner for twelve years, which informs the depth with which I listen to and seek to understand my clients.

As a Licensed Social Worker (LSW,) I am a strength based, systematically minded clinician integrating mindfulness and body awareness practices with grief counseling, trauma informed care, family therapy and child play therapy.

Specializing in working with adult women (20's/30's); emerging adults; young children (2-12yrs) and their families.

My approach is to work collaboratively with my clients - together we build a trusting and safe enough environment to explore, make discoveries and integrate new ways of living life and being in the world.

I am committed to working with people who want to get to the root of their emotional distress and life suffering. In-depth psychotherapy helps us to grow our capacity to fully experience all of our feelings. Learning how to put our thoughts and feelings into words helps us get our emotional needs met. Exploring painful experiences is often a very difficult and lonely process. That is why talking with a well-trained psychotherapist can be helpful to facilitate our understanding of why we feel the way we do. Out of this fundamental understanding of ourselves arises authentic forgiveness and compassion.

When we can speak openly and honestly in an atmosphere of radical acceptance, we can discover the inner strength and flexibility needed for deep and lasting change. Please do not hesitate to call me to schedule a free consult to learn more.

I specialize in helping people who suffer from anxiety and low self esteem.
